Lesson 30
The end of menDid nature really design me to be expendable? That's horrible!
My biological role is to impregnate the female (in fact, to impregnate as many females as possible!), but now they're telling me that my fertility is falling.
Chemical pollution is killing off my sperm and artificial insemination has made me, kind of, dispensable.
But even if my biological job is done, I can now apparently - buzz off. Mothers can fend for themselves and rear my children on their own.
Does anybody need me?
Am I really dispensable, doomed and facing extinction?
Is it really the end of men?
